Jackie gave me high high hopes for him and the other unstoppable force on that team, Bob Hargro.

What stood out to me with Rutland was we kept rolling him out to his right. He'd run to his right, stop and turn his body to try and throw. Looked so awkward. For some reason I've never forgotten that. It's like the coaching staff didn't realize he was left handed... which would not surprise me at all. Conner came in and almost led a huge comeback in that Tulane game.
Had to have had 30 carries for an average of 1.7 yards on a sweltering opening day against Tennessee. Was so tired of hearing his name.
Ermon Green, LB from Brandon HS circa 84-85 season. He was one of my Unit Operations lab partners. Very nice guy and had to admire his dedication. Trying to get a Chem E degree while playing SEC football had to be tough. He knew he wasn’t going pro so worked on that degree.
And another DT - Darrell Moore from Lilburn, GA
Dude once told me that “you know the honeymoon is over when you’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth and you’re wife walks in and she sits down and starts taking a $#\+ “
I’m like, yea, guess so Darrell.

If I remember correctly, Rutland transferred to Jackson State and couldn’t even win the starting job there. Just shows you how much Croom abysmally failed at evaluating and signing quarterbacks.
Hargro got 20 years for armed robbery last I heard.
Pig Prather. I still remember when I was a kid watching the games with my dad. He would get so mad at Pig Prather for muffing punts and bang his hands on the side of his football watching chair. "Damnit Prather!!!!"
Prather also came through big at times. Good player.

Austin Williams freshman practice video. He got better as time passed.

The crazy thing is that team was not just terribly far from bowl eligibility. Don’t get me wrong, they still sucked. But I think we lost four games by a field goal. I guess it evened out in 2007 when we won a bunch of really ugly close games.
On a random note, about 5-6 years ago Ed Smith was my Uber driver on a late night in Memphis.
